Motherwell hero Blair Spittal has agreed a pre-contract with Hearts when his deal at Fir Park expires in the summer.
The 28-year-old midfielder will join the Tynecastle giants on a three-year deal.
Spittal has been a real hero at Fir Park this season and is joint top scorer with Theo Bair on 11 goals in what has been a highly impressive campaign.
Hearts have moved swiftly to snap up some Premiership talent, with Ross County’s Yan Dhanda and James Penrice of Livingston agreeing similar deals.
The club is currently fighting relegation with their clubs, but the pull of Europe is present as they sit third in the Premiership.
Last month, he stated: “We try to be as proactive as we can be in keeping our best players at the club, but the one thing that I allude to, that I think people forget, is that we need all parties to be in that.”
“Blair has been excellent; if we are specific, we have had a few chats with him. He is a huge football fan.
“Having his first child and other things have caused some changes in his life, which I believe he has handled quite well, but how much more obvious can it get?
“Once again, people would shoot me down for saying this, but we want to keep him at Motherwell; that much is obvious. You’re looking at one of the best players in the league, in my opinion.”
